I love it here. I have been to other Capoeira places but this is by far my fave. Everyone is super nice and it always feels like you are with family. Varal is a great teacher. He is patient with everyone new or old to capoeira and he always keeps the class interesting. Don’t worry if you have a bad hip or knee or anything. He makes sure to find ways to train you without aggravating any injury. Whether you are interested in Capoeira as a martial art or just want to play to get in shape, this is a great place to be. – Aileen H.

Having trained capoeira with a variety of teachers, Varal definitely is top notch. The Classes are smaller, so there is plenty of one on one training, he’s patient with beginners and good at pushing his more advanced students to become better. They are very good at keeping the class feeling more like a family than a structured class of strangers. – Tommy H.

My kids love going to Capoeira! Professor Varal is energetic and very understanding and works well with everyone of all ages! He makes the class a joy to watch and participate in. Thank you Professor Varal! – Emilee M.

First of all, capoeira is awesome and I feel so blessed to have found ArteLuta Capoeira school right in my neighborhood! The instructors are top notch. I love the sense of community, the challenging workouts (both for the mind and body), the fun classes, emphasis on music and culture, and the positive energy – it’s totally contagious! I recommend it for everyone and anyone. – Dalilah O.

ArteLuta Capoeira is awesome! I’m so glad I started training with them. As someone who has never trained in anything I was really scared to start, but I soon learned there was nothing to worry about. Professor Varal is an awesome teacher who knows when someone needs to be pushed without ever pushing them beyond their limits. Everyone at ArteLuta Capoeira from the teachers to the students is warm and welcoming. By training at this school you don’t just get to learn a martial art, you’ll get to learn all about different aspects of Brazilian culture and gain a whole new (and really super awesome fun) Capoeira family! – Marie B.

The video says it all! Varal inspires love of the art & and teaches you to fight strong & play gracefully! Monica always makes taking learning to the next level fun! – winkie3000
